Once Jiang Xi became serious, his expression was still quite stern: "Mrs. Su went to Huishan Temple, but she wanted to take you, but what did you say in the Su family?" Then you diagnosed Mrs. Jiang's happy pulse in Huishan Temple-what did you say to see your mother-Mrs. Jiang is pregnant, similar to Mrs. Jiang, outsiders can't hear it, doesn't Daddy know? Wind chill and wind heat can still be seen in the characterization, but the happy pulse cannot be confirmed by non-diagnostic pulse. The county lord rewarded so many things, if it wasn't for the fact that you were diagnosed with Young Lady Jiang's happy pulse, where could you get it? ”

Taohua blinked, she didn't expect Jiang Xi to look a little naïve, but she was still very keen on some things.

"You've always been smart, and you seem to have a talent for studying medicine." Jiang Xi sighed softly, "Sometimes my father regrets it, I shouldn't have asked you to take care of the family's business early, whether it's the medicine hall or Zhuangzi, you have to be busy outside, but the rules of the girls' family are not good to learn." ”

Isn't this an afterthought? Taohua whispered to her father in her heart without any pressure: "That is, I am like this in front of my father, and I will definitely not go out." When I enter the capital, I will pay attention to my uncle and grandfather. In fact, at first, Jiang Xi only let her take care of the house, and she didn't plan to let her interfere in the business outside, but she pestered Jiang Xi to go and see, and Jiang Xi agreed. As Jiang Xi dotes on his daughter like this, even if she wants to circle her to learn the rules at the beginning, as long as she asks for it, I'm afraid she will be defeated, where is it useful to talk big now.

"Well, you've always been sensible. After all, my uncle and grandfather are not our own home, if there is anything uncomfortable, and endure it for a while. Jiang Xi hesitated, but still said, "Sister Dan'er has a bad temper when she is a little, and now that she is big, she doesn't know how." If she still has a bad temper, you just have to avoid it, and you can't live for a few months, and when your uncle's birthday is over, we will go back to Wuxi. ”

Just now, I thought that my daughter didn't learn the rules well, but now when there is a contradiction, my daughter has become sensible again, and she is really a father who protects her shortcomings. Taohua smiled secretly in her heart, and replied with a serious face: "Daddy, don't worry, it was still young in the past, and everyone had no sense of proportion." Now that they are older, their daughter knows how to do it. Three-year-old Jiang Taohua naturally doesn't know how to protect herself, but thirteen-year-old Taohua is different.

"Hmm." Jiang Xi nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly reacted, "Isn't Fang Cai talking about your study of medicine?" You told Daddy, did you learn from Su Laolang to diagnose the pulse? ”

This is Daddy, you are crooked. Taohua thought about it for a while and decided to make a half-truth, "At the beginning, I was watching my father diagnose his wife's pulse, and I thought it was interesting." However, Su Lao Langzhong said that his daughter learns very quickly and understands everything. ”

Jiang Xi was convinced of this. Taohua was stupid until she was six years old, but when she woke up, she seemed to be smarter than children of the same age, and it didn't take any effort to teach her to read and write, and she could help him sort out his notes on herbs in a few years. And Taohua has read all the medical books and medical cases accumulated in the family for generations, and can read these things at a young age, so it is reasonable to learn medicine at a point.

In fact, there is a bit of a misunderstanding here. Taohua has not read all the medical books accumulated by the Jiang family, to be precise, she has not read all of them in this life, because she has read a large part of them in her previous life. However, she has read those medical cases, and some of the more special ones will be read carefully.

However, Jiang Xi is busy outside all day long, how can he come back every day to stare at which book his daughter has read? And he didn't have any other children for a long time, and he didn't often go to friends' houses to pay attention to their children, and he didn't know that his daughter's reading speed was a little too amazing.

What's even better is that the men of the Jiang family are quite talented in reading, although Jiang Xi is mediocre in diagnosing pulse, but it is not very difficult to read and write when he was a child, so he feels that his daughter is not an earth-shattering event. So Taohua prevaricated casually, and Jiang Xi believed it all.

"You, this is the talent of your grandfather and uncle-" Jiang Xi was happy at first, and then he became sad again, "It's a pity, if there is no emperor......"

"Look at what Daddy said. Even if there was no first emperor, could I still practice medicine? ”

"Why not!" Jiang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Our ancestors, you have a great-great-grandmother, who is a famous female doctor. At that time, we didn't have this medicine hall in our house, but it was just a rattle walking the street. But your great-great-grandfather wanted to ring the bell, but your great-great-grandmother was able to sit at home, and a woman came to the door to seek medical treatment. ”

Taohua really wanted to be impressed by Jiang Xi, and she was so open-minded: "Daddy really thinks that women can also practice medicine?" ”

"Absolutely." Jiang Xi said without thinking, and regretted it a little, "But now that our family is like this, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Taohua smiled: "I know, but I just asked my father." As long as Daddy doesn't think I'm unruly. As for practicing medicine, I haven't thought about it, but when I see a patient, sometimes I can't help but remind a few words. This shouldn't be against the words of the first emperor, right? ”

Jiang Xi sighed, half relieved and half regretful to touch his daughter's hair: "The ancestors have words, and the parents of the doctor have hearts." Although I can't practice medicine now, my daughter of the Jiang family should have such benevolence. Although you have diagnosed people's pulses, but you do not prescribe medicine and do not accept medical fees, you are not considered to have violated the emperor. However, you are still young, and you don't know that not everyone in this world is well-intentioned, and there are many ungrateful people. Therefore, even benevolence has to be guarded against. You have done a good job today, and you have mentioned the man without showing your own ability, even if someone sees and hears it, you will not be able to take the handle. ”

Taohua looked at Jiang Xi and felt a sense of pity. Her father, who picked it up for nothing, is actually very arrogant, and can not take anything to heart, sometimes naïve as a child, but he didn't expect to be so careful in this matter, which shows that the hurt he received at the beginning was extremely profound, so that he had to be careful.

What Jiang Xi said is basically the same as Taohua's idea. Speaking of Taohua, there is only one case of Tan Xiangluo's diagnosis and treatment, which is why she wants Mrs. Tan to keep it secret.

"I remember it all, don't worry, Daddy." Taohua leaned her face on Jiang Xi's shoulder, "When I go to the capital, I won't do such a thing." "After all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are many people who are familiar with the old things, and their nerves are estimated to be more sensitive than those of Wuxi people. And she also has a cousin in the palace, maybe she will be jealous of someone, and then catch her kindness to buckle the Jiang family's hat, Taohua feels that she is not so stupid. Besides, she is not a doctor now, but she doesn't need to talk about her vocation to save lives and help the wounded, even if she sees the patient dying, there is nothing she can't get over in her conscience.

Jiang Xi had a long talk with his daughter, proud of his daughter's talent and intelligence, sad to remember his parents' old things, touched Taohua's hair, and remembered that his wife was deceased, and had nowhere to tell her daughter about her intelligence, so he went back to his room with a wilt. Everyone in the Jiang family had a good time today, and everyone was a little tired, so they went to bed early, and the next day they still boarded the boat as usual and went straight to Hankou.

When she arrived at the boat, Taohua remembered the purse she gave with Hanzhang yesterday, and opened it casually, but it was two small gold ingots with begonia patterns, each weighing five dollars, just for a reminder, this thank you gift is not light, and sure enough, when the person who is a county horse, the family is rich.

This incident was only a small episode during the journey, and by the time the ship arrived at Hankow, everyone had almost forgotten about it.

From Hankou to Chang'an, it is a land route. The Jiang family hired a few carriages, but the people who did not get seasick got dizzy in the carriage, up to the Cao family and Jiang Yanhua, down to the maids, and more than half of the people were turned upside down by the carriage.

Fortunately, Jiang Bohua, the little fat man, was very skinny, but he was not very comfortable on the carriage on the first day, and he jumped up and down again on the second day, and he could still pester Taohua to continue to make literacy cards, and memorize those few sentences of "Three Character Classic" to be full of energy.

Jiang Yanhua was lying in the car, watching Taohua playing with Jiang Bohua, and said weakly: "Sister's body is so good...... " She is now holding pickled ginger slices in her mouth, and she doesn't dare to move, as long as she is on the side of her head, there seems to be something rushing up in her stomach. Although she had only drunk a few sips of rice soup in the morning, her stomach should be empty by this time.

Taohua shook her head, took one of her hands, and rubbed a few acupuncture points for her: "You, you should move around more if you have nothing to do, your body is strong, and the reaction on the road will not be so big." And it is not suitable to read books or do needlework on the carriage, otherwise it will be dizzy and dizzy. Jiang Yanhua didn't finish the screen he wanted to embroider on the boat, and he didn't feel so dizzy on the first day after getting into the carriage, and he stiffened up and wanted to embroider again, but the result was that he spit on the screen in one mouthful, and the whole piece of embroidery couldn't be used.

Taohua didn't see it with her own eyes, it was Mint who saw Daylily and quietly threw away something, followed her to look at it, and came back to sue Taohua. A piece of fine fragrant cloud yarn, the embroidered pattern on it has been confused by the vomit, and the mint did not dare to move forward, for fear of being smoked and spit it out.

Jiang Yanhua said with a little humility: "There are still a few stitches left for my uncle's grandfather, I thought I would rush out on the road...... "It turned out to be good now, the third screen that was about to be embroidered was destroyed, and when I arrived in the capital, I had to do it again, it was really better not to rush at that time."

Momoka smiled and didn't say anything more. Anyway, what should be said has already been said, and Jiang Yanhua will follow her whether she listens or not.

Jiang Yanhua only felt that her hand was pressed a little painfully, but the feeling of nausea in her chest had subsided a lot, and she couldn't help but say, "Sister really knows how to heal?" ”

She had been thinking about this question for a long time. Because she didn't leave the house, she didn't know what was happening in the medicine hall, but the last time Cao's liver qi moved, Taohua's bowl of hooked rattan soup made her extremely impressed. In addition, Mrs. Su later invited Taohua to Huishan Temple, and the lord of Nanhua rewarded her several times, which made her more and more confused. There is also the matter of the Moon Pavilion the day before yesterday - although she doesn't know anything about medical skills, she can at least see that Taohua's ability is probably not something that can be learned just by looking at the medical books at home.

"I learned a little from Grandpa Su." Taohua took out her words against Jiang Xi without pressure to deal with Jiang Yanhua. Jiang Xi doesn't know about the affairs of the family, but the mother and daughter of the Cao family don't know about the outside world, so it is not difficult to fool around.

Sure enough, Jiang Yanhua had no doubts, only showed an envious expression: "My sister is really capable...... During the Chinese New Year, she also tried to go through the medical books at home, but unfortunately she didn't understand the headache.

"Everyone has their own strengths." Taohua smiled faintly, "My sister's strength is not here, and I don't need to understand this." Even I, I've only heard Grandpa Su say something, and I don't really have the ability to cure people. ”

"That sister is also very powerful, I feel much more comfortable now......" Jiang Yanhua said sincerely. When she was in Chen's house, she only knew how to do needlework with her stuffy head, and only when she did it was done could she have a full meal. Later, when I returned to Cao's house, I found that my cousin Cao Luo was literate, and I was very envious, thinking that my cousin was the kind of lady who told stories. When I arrived at Jiang's house, I found that Jiang Taohua knew more than Cao Luo, and I was not envious.

Jiang Yanhua learned needlework very quickly, and felt that if she had the opportunity to learn to read and write, she would not be worse than others. Who knew that after studying hard for two or three years, he didn't even know that Taohua casually said "three lives and all things". Next, she had the opportunity to learn from the housekeeper to read the accounts, and found that the account book was not as easy as she thought. After several blows in a row, she knocked off half of her confidence, and now she has confirmed that Taohua is skilled in medicine again, and she has to admit that there are differences between people and people.

Taohua smiled: "Sister, let's rest for a while, if I can fall asleep, I will feel much more comfortable." I will be in the capital in a few days, just hold on. ”

There are many people who say that it is good to be dizzy and dizzy, and the reason here is not easy to say, but sometimes it does work. For example, when the Jiang family arrived in the capital, most of them had already adapted to it, but they began to get dizzy.

The magnificence of Chang'an City is not inferior to that of Xi'an in later generations, and even exceeds it in some aspects. When Momoka looked at the tall city wall in front of her from a distance from the carriage, she couldn't help but have an indescribable feeling, as if there was a huge heart beating vigorously in the black-gray city wall, pumping blood and vitality in all directions.

Jiang Songhua took a few subordinates to pick up people near the post house outside Chang'an City. It's the first time I've seen this second cousin, and compared it with the boy who was always very good-tempered in my memory, and found that there was not much change except for growing much taller.

"Third uncle." Jiang Songhua greeted Jiang Xi and bowed. He is seventeen years old, and his appearance is neither like his father nor his mother, it is said that he is like his grandmother, that is, Yu, the wife of Mrs. Jiang, who is a handsome young man, and there is a loyal appearance between his eyebrows.

"Brother Song'er has grown so tall." Jiang Xi hasn't seen his nephew for many years, and he is also very affectionate, "I heard that you were a child, but the third uncle hasn't congratulated you yet." Come on, this is your second aunt. These are your two younger sisters and one younger brother - this is Sister Peach, do you still recognize them? ”

Jiang Songhua saluted to the Cao family in an orderly manner, his eyes fell on Taohua, and he was a little surprised: "This is the third sister?" It's so beautiful, if I see it outside, I won't dare to recognize it. ”

Jiang Xi smiled when he heard this, took his nephew's hand and said, "Is your grandfather good, how is your father?" ”

Jiang Songhua hurriedly said: "It's all good." Grandfather heard that the third uncle was coming, and he was looking forward to it for the past few days. ”

Jiang Xi treated this uncle like his own father, although there were still a few steps to get home, he still couldn't help but pull his nephew and asked about the old lady Jiang's body and daily life. Jiang Songhua has an excellent temper, he takes the trouble to answer, and he says it very clearly, obviously he is also very concerned about Mrs. Jiang on weekdays, and he is not a person who lies about filial piety.

The carriage drove into Chang'an City from the Zhengde Gate in the south, and the Jiang family and others couldn't help but gather by the car window to watch the street scene outside.

Chang'an City was the most spectacular and prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, and after several wars, the area of the capital is smaller than then, but the general layout still follows the Tang system. There are 11 north-south streets and 14 east-west streets, dividing more than 100 neat lanes.

The waterways of the south of the Yangtze River are vertical and horizontal, the streets are built according to the water, most of them are narrow and meandering, it is rare to see this kind of wide and straight street, the buildings on both sides are all northern, and there is a unique flavor than the Jiangnan garden. The streets are full of pedestrians, cars and horses, and even the clothes are not quite the same as those in the south.

"Sister, look, that woman, the clothes she is wearing-" Jiang Yanhua's eyes were wide open, almost not enough, and finally when she passed by a wine shop, she couldn't help but say it.

"That, it should be like Tang's style......" Taohua is not very sure, after all, she spent too much time studying medicine in her previous life, and the knowledge of the rest is relatively less, and some of them are still made up after coming to this world. However, the Tang Dynasty woman's clothes were exposed to her chest, and she still knew it.

Mint's eyes widened as well: "This, this is too ......"

Taohua said helplessly: "That woman should be selling wine in a wine shop, or a singer and dancer, or something like that......" After the Shen family ascended the throne, it was said that it was the Cheng Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the concept was still the Song Dynasty, like this kind of clothing that exposed the chest, it was quite popular in the Tang Dynasty, but now it is regarded as light and thin by several generations of Shen monarchs, and only women in places like the wine shop and music shop will wear it; And even the women in these places are wearing less and less like this. It can be seen that the Shen family tree traced back to Shen Jiji in the Tang Dynasty, just to increase his worth.

"Why is this like this in the capital-" Jiang Yanhua couldn't help but sigh.

Taohua observed for a while and said, "The people who should live in this area are civilians, so the women in the wine shop will dress like this." "In a more upscale place, it won't be like that.

Next to their carriage was Jiang Songhua's little servant Yuanzhi, this guy was very clever, and he had been covering the car window with his body, so that Taohua and them could enjoy the street scene, and they would not be peeped into by pedestrians on the road. At this moment, when she heard Taohua say this, she said: "What the third girl said is very true, most of the people living in this area are poor, and the wine shop is also an inferior wine shop, and there are no rules in it...... Today, I just took a shortcut to pass here, and I usually don't come. ”

Taohua looked at him with a smile: "You must be very familiar with Chang'an City?" ”

Yuanzhi is also fourteen or fifteen years old, his eyebrows and eyes are full of flexibility, completely different from his master, listening to Taohua's question, he grinned: "I don't dare to say that I am familiar, but when I was a child, I often ran out, and I have been to almost all places." If the three girls want to buy something, or where to play, the little ones know it. ”

"You're clever." Momoka laughed, "So, tell us about the family first, okay?" How are my grandfather and grandmother? How are the big uncles and aunts? Can the second uncle's family come back? ”

Yuanzhi smiled and said: "The old lady is in good health, such as playing five poultry dramas every day, sorting out medical cases or something when he is idle - the little one can't understand it, but looking at the old lady's body and bones, it is not a problem to live a hundred years old......"

He was really articulate, and before the carriage arrived at the gate of Jiang's mansion, Taohua already knew everything he needed to know.

Mrs. Jiang is in good health, and since she resigned from the post of imperial doctor, she has been closed, and even her former colleagues in the hospital have stopped interacting. In recent years, he has become more and more quiet, and has moved out of the main house, living alone in a small courtyard, as if he is sorting out the cases of practicing medicine over the years, and he wants to collect them into a book or something. Now he has a light diet, and it can even be said that he has coarse tea and light rice, and in addition to the two little licorice and sweet pine by his side, there is only one old concubine cinnabar to serve by his side.

So Mrs. Jiang's Yu now lives alone in the main house, but the fifth girl, Jiang Danhua, is raised by her side, so she is not lonely.

After Jiang Jun, the eldest master of Jiang, had a miscarriage in the palace, he was promoted by one level, and now he is the head of the five products, and he has entered the Shaanxi Qing Division. He was originally an idle outsider, although he was only promoted one level this time, he had a good shortage of the household, if Jiang Meihua did not have a miscarriage, it would be a great joy.

As for Jiang Zhu, the second master of Jiang, he has already decided to come back with his family to celebrate his father's birthday this year, and it is believed that these days will come.

As Tao Hua listened, she compared the remaining memories in her mind and found that the population of the Jiang family had not changed much in the seven years since she had traveled over. In addition to the eldest daughter Mei Hua entering the palace, Jiang Jun's first room also has the eldest son Jiang Songhua, the second daughter Jiang Danhua, the second son Jiang Yuhua, and a concubine Jiang Xinghua.

And Jiang Zhu has a room, there is only one son and one daughter: the eldest son Jiang Nanhua is the eldest grandson of this generation, but it is a pity that Jiang Zhu himself is a concubine, and Jiang Nanhua's eldest grandson is not very valuable; daughter Jiang Lianhua is one year older than Taohua.

After Taohua listened, her heart let go of most of it, and she smiled and motioned to Mint to give Yuanzhi a purse: "You have spent half a day saliva, buy a cup of tea to drink." "This kid is really a ghost, he has said everything he can say, but he can't say a word without spitting out a word, no wonder Jiang Songhua will take him out.

Yuanzhi hurriedly said: "It's just a few words, how dare you accept the reward of the third girl." ”

"Take it." Taohua smiled slightly, "We haven't been back for many years, and we will have to work for you to lead them to recognize the way in the future." ”

Yuanzhi took the purse and hurriedly saluted: "The little Xie San girl will be rewarded." If you talk about labor, you don't dare to do it. My sisters have what they can get, so they can send it. ”

Mint laughed and said, "I will believe it when you say it, and you will use it more in the future, don't bother." ”

Yuanzhi patted his chest and said that there was no such thing, and after a few laughs, the carriage in front slowed down, and Yuanzhi glanced forward and said, "Third girl, it's here." ”
